TOLLAND – March means basketball is on our minds, so there’s no better time to hear author Jeff Goldberg speak about his new book, “Unrivaled: UConn, Tennessee, and the Twelve Years that Transcended Women’s Basketball.”
     Goldberg, a former Hartford Courant sportswriter who covered the Huskies from 2001 to 2006, has written the definitive book on the memorable UConn-Tennessee rivalry under Hall of Fame Coaches Geno Auriemma and Pat Summitt.
     The Tolland Public Library Foundation will host Goldberg on March 12 at 7 p.m. in the Tolland Public Library as part of its popular Eaton-Dimock-King Authors Series.
     The book includes a foreword by Rebecca Lobo, the former UConn star who played for three teams in the WNBA and is now a basketball analyst for ESPN.
      UConn and Tennessee combined for nine national championships, and UConn won 13 of 22 match-ups before Summitt abruptly ended the series in 2007.
      The Foundation previously hosted Goldberg when he wrote “Bird at the Buzzer: UConn, Notre Dame, and a Women’s Basketball Classic” in 2011.
      The talk is free, but registration is required. To register, call the Tolland Public Library at 860-871-3620.
      The Foundation’s series has brought award-winning authors to town since 2010. It is funded by the Phoebe Dimock King and Elizabeth C. King Eaton Endowment.
